Contents:

|
The Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA) feature in your Kia K4 allows you to establish a maximum speed limit to prevent the vehicle from inadvertently exceeding your desired pace. If you happen to exceed the preset threshold, the system triggers a warning: the set speed limit flashes on the instrument cluster, and an audible chime sounds until the Kia K4 speed returns within the designated limit.
Manual Speed Limit Assist operation
Setting the speed limit
- Press and hold the Driving Assist button (
) while driving at your chosen speed. The Speed Limit indicator (
) will appear on the instrument cluster.
- Push the switch up (
) or down (
) and release to set your desired speed.
Pushing and holding the up (
) or down (
) switch will adjust the speed to the nearest multiple of 5 mph (10 km/h), after which it will continue to increment or decrement in these intervals.
- The Kia K4 instrument cluster will display the newly set speed limit.
If you exceed this speed, the limit blinks and a warning chime sounds to prompt a return to the set limit.
TIP
- The Kia K4 maintains the set speed unless the accelerator pedal is pressed beyond the pressure point.
- Maximum set speeds are subject to specific Kia K4 model configurations and safety regulations.

WARNING
Please adhere to the following safety precautions while utilizing the Manual Speed Limit Assist system in your Kia K4:
-
Always calibrate the vehicle speed to remain strictly within the posted speed limits of the road you are traveling on.
-
To prevent accidental activation, ensure the Manual Speed Limit Assist is turned OFF when not actively in use. Always verify that the Speed Limit indicator (
) is extinguished on your Kia K4 display. -
Remember that the Manual Speed Limit Assist is a supplemental tool and does not replace vigilant, manual driving. The driver retains full responsibility for safe vehicle operation, anticipating unexpected traffic changes, and monitoring road conditions in the Kia K4 at all times.
Other information:
It is a common misconception that airbags should deploy in every accident. In reality, many types of low-energy or specific-angle accidents do not require the supplemental protection that an airbag provides, as the seat belt system alone is designed to be the primary safety restraint. Conditions where airbags may not deploy in your Kia K4 include, but are not limited to, rear-end impacts, secondary or tertiary collisions in multi-impact accidents, and low-speed impacts where the deceleration forces do not meet the strict criteria for airbag activation.Kia K4 (CL4) 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Smart Cruise Control (SCC)

It automatically helps you maintain a set cruising speed while also preserving a safe, appropriate following distance from the vehicle directly in front of your Kia K4. Overtake Acceleration Assist function When the Kia K4 Smart Cruise Control detects that you are initiating a lane change to overtake a slower vehicle ahead, the system can provide supplemental acceleration to help you complete the passing maneuver smoothly.
